My take is an overreaction and obviously some fund decided to exit hence the volume. Notice how the volume spiked after lunch, doesn't look like retailers selling and anyway there are not enough retailers here for this volume
results are slightly below expectations, slow demand in april and march plant turnaround delayed the impact of margin expansion. downside risk should be limited with the swing to profitability, i expect price will only move above 2.50 after next qr is released which will see the full 3 month impact of margin expansion if oil price and product ASP remains relatively stable.
Do not panic lah as I mentioned before for the last qtr almost 2 months were in mco the result is actaully quite reasonable taking into account of only 1 month of normal business activities. My analysis is also different from maybank IB in that the spread is still good and PP and PE price would still be strong for the next 9 months or so.If you are thinking of selling the stock and buy others instead, I can only say that other than those in the covid19 related business others will reports shits in the following months. But those gloves stocks already hit the roof despite the call buy from most IB some are attaching a TP of RM40 for top glove simply bcoz there are many call warrants attached to it and you should know who issued these warrants. Having said that I don't rule out the possibility of lct to fall a little more if there is a sharp fall in the US market but overall this stock should outperform the gloves stock in the longer term and of course it is lot less riskier
DRC meant to solve the Public shareholding spread issue. It could be good if the dividend is converted into shares at a discount share price (max 10%). It also indicates that LC Titan will declare dividend for next financial year.
Q3+Q4 ASP increase confirm will boost up the ASP and the margin, definitely will see something soon, if those compare the same quarter result for preceding actually is incomparable bcuz last year no covid issue, we shud compare to Q1 and we can see the improvement. We invest for value stock, if those only focus goreng, pls go other counters.
In view of accounting reporting standards regarding net realisable value on Inventory, the write down or reversal of write down in Inventory subject to the ASP of PE / NAPHTHA/ RESIN... And it's normal to do so, sometime become higher cost of goods sold when write down incurred, sometime become lower cost of goods sold when reversal write down incurred. Please don't focus this and we shall see the improvement, from lower sales volume+lower ASP become higher sales volume+Higher ASP is the issue we focus. Please analyse from this view.
In the view of uncertainty of politic issue, all Investors are reminded to be cautious and stay firm in the value-investment share, not to afraid or sell in loss.
LCTITAN definitely has alot cash flow which is well preparation on this pandemic issue. ( Good sign). They also place big portion in the investment which they actually did a good choice for the company.
The Indonesia LINE plant will become focus in near future and we foresee another growth of business in the future too. What you scare is you only value a company based on share price. If want goreng pls find those call warrant to play.
Just my point of view, all packaging company share had gone up which show that they are buying more material from Titan, there is good potential that Titan share should go higher
come on,, it is funny to see how worried people are for only one day fall.. quarterly is doing better meaning the company is getting jobs. +ve QR . if the job continues, next quarter gonna report profit again. if you cant even hold for 1 more quarter term, better don play share.. play XOX for day trade.. my view is still alright to hold. even though it might differ from many views in this forum but i felt that the mentality of players are so weak and do not really research well but only listen to negative comments because it is easier to trust negative comments than +ve.
cheers! hope everyone will be able to make some money on monday (if it rebounds)
some of you guys who have entered below rm 2, you guys dont wanna switch to other steady stock ? when you keep worrying about lctitan and cant sleep at night, might as well enter glove sector for mid term as the profit is guaranteed...enter SAMCHEM for short period, TP is covered by IB anyway.
Just glance through the news during this holiday.... just some sharing on my findings
Bear in mind... although LCtitan's operation is not affected by MCO due to essential service, it is believed their major complex plant still under scheduled maintenance and hence affecting their throughputs. You guys can refer the link below which stated Lctitan naphtha feed steam cracker no.2 undergoes 45-day turnaround in March.
And, petrochemical company normally need to consume certain feedstock to inventory and processing until produce on spec resin. This will cause the naphtha purchased is not 100% translated into product to be sold
Anyway, just to highlight this quarter report does not really reflect the truth of Lctitan performance due to lower operating rate.
Considered Q3 there is no major turnaround, expecting Lctitan shall be able to deliver satisfactory result considered the strong demand of the packaging sector and PPE due to Covid-19 as current margin still profitable. This can be indicated by most of the cracker plant still running at full rate due to good olefin margin [quoted from S&P Global news]
Just my thinking.. If the company profit solely relied on the reversal of write down, then why all the cracker plant still running at full rate. The reason should be current market is able to deliver good operating profit to the petrochemical plant.
So, i think believe the one off startup cost and lower operating rate are the one make the results look bad.
You can check back from the ipo prospectus then you will realize the naphtha feed steam cracker no.2 is the largest plant to supply their internal downstream plant
Just now I learned about the operation of lctitan with a friend. There are only 2 plastics companies in the local area, and one is Pchem.
In fact, if you understand it, you can understand why lctitan still holds 76% of the heavyweight shares. To this day, bursa has warned countless people to hold more than 75% of its weight. These will only cause the market to be manipulated. Lctitan and Bursa applied for another 6 months to reduce the votes to 75%.
lctitan is a cyclical company. When the economy is good, they will make a lot of money; when the economy is bad, they will lose money.
When lctitan chose this time, they knew that the economy was going to be bad, and by the way, they borrowed money from retail investors to survive the difficult period. Holding 1.061 billion cash company, zero debt company. 200 million votes, excluding cash, is worth 5 yuan per share.
Recently, many suppliers in the market know that the raw materials are gone, because the suppliers they get the goods know that lctitan is selling, and by the way, the raw materials are increased in price every month. During this period, many small and medium-sized companies knew that the market was out of stock, so they ran to buy lctitan stock. Today's results are pretty good, but Dazhuang still wants to wash people because too many retail investors know that they have no raw materials. Because the raw materials in July and August rose, suppliers can only place orders at the beginning of each month. The Indonesian factory of lctitan is almost ready to be built. Therefore, this company squeezed goods and increased the price of raw materials to increase market prices.
If you enter the game with rm2.2 and the ipo is 5 . now you and the boss have the probability of betting against the boss. The only difference is the remaining time.
